RESUMEN
Con vista a determinar qué opinaban las adolescentes gestantes del Distrito 1 José Marti del municipio de Santiago de Cuba sobre las posibles causas de su embarazo, fueron seleccionadas aleatoriamente 8 de estas embarazadas en cada policlínico perteneciente a dicho distrito, para un total de 24, a las cuales se aplicaron, previo consentimiento informado, diversas técnicas para obtener la información necesaria al respecto. Entre las principales causas referidas, tanto a través de las entrevistas como de los grupos focales, figuraron relaciones sexuales precoces, no uso de medios de protección, escasa comunicación con los padres, ser hija de madre adolescente, falta de motivación por las actividades escolares y pocas opciones de distracción. Mediante la observación se confirmó que la mayoría de ellas se mostraban indiferentes ante su situación; señal de que no valoraban adecuadamente el riesgo ni las consecuencias futuras de esa gravidez. No hubo diferencias significativas entre los resultados de cada institución de salud incluida en el estudio
